- Ages 3 and up
Product Description
Reach into the bag to find the puzzle pieces that match the pictures on your bedroom game board. If a monster pops out, don’t be scared…just tellthat silly old thing to go away. Then get rid of him for good by tossing him into the moster pit and out of your room. You take charge, and the monsters take off! 1-4 Players Ages 3+Editorial Review
Designed for competitive or cooperative play, Go Away Monster is a delightful game for pre-school-age children. It gives them power over fears they might have as they “rid their rooms” of scary monsters. By providing each of up to four players with his or her own playing board–designed to look like a child’s room–the game cunningly avoids potential squabbles over sharing. Players take turns reaching into a “monster bag” and feeling for pieces of furniture needed for their rooms. If they pull out a monster instead, they can hide it or throw it away while shouting “Go away, monster!” Players may help one another or compete to finish their rooms first. –Lee Strucker

I would say this toy is fun for kids 3 and under…beyond that they get bored before the game is over. It’s also hard for an adult to play with a child because it’s way too easy to feel the pieces and figure out what to pull from the bag. You have to throw the game or win every time. That’s no fun because I love to play games like Candyland with the kids because sometimes you win and sometimes you don’t!

I love this toy. I am a teacher and work with preschoolers. They get sooo excited when they find a monster and can yell at him “Go away monster! I don’t want you in my room.”

This game has helped my 3 year old daughter overcome her fear of monsters and “scary” things in the night.
We play this game the most out of her wide selection of games.

This is a great first game for a young child. Play is simple but fun: little ones love the mystery of drawing a piece from a bag, matching the furniture shapes to their places on the game boards, and best of all, shouting “Go away monster!” when a monster appears. I also like the cooperative element: if you draw a piece that you don’t need, you give it to somebody else who needs it. I only wish we hadn’t read aloud the part of the directions suggesting that you could literally throw the monsters away from you — my son likes to hurl them across the room! (Hence my 4-star rating on durability — the pieces are well-made, but I worry that the monsters will get lost one of these days.) The manufacturer’s recommended age range is 3 – 6. I would recommend the game for ages 2 – 4, but my 6 year old likes it well enough to be willing to play with her little brother.

My four year old loves this game. The pieces are cute and durable. My two year old is able to put the pieces where they go. I would definitely recommend this game for a preschooler!
